As our company grew, it was important to choose an insurance broker who had the knowledge and experience to provide complete, comprehensive insurance coverage for our specific needs. Charles River Insurance met all of these requirements. They are involved from the beginning stages of evaluating potential new building acquisitions to working with our lenders developing insurance solutions for each property’s unique risk. Working with Charles River Insurance continues to be one of our best business decisions.
